Whats left of Geneva Steel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Steel
I took lots of photos out there but this is the only one that was shaped like the state of Utah. I have heard that some of these basements go up to three levels below ground.

hey look, its cancer

Holy crap!! That looks like a video game setting, but where is the undead coming out of the water?

Seriously though, those pics are amazing man. Kinda sad and disgusting knowing that a place like that exists, but xcellent pics. If you have any more, toss em up please.

I always thought they should leave the structures up at Geneva and turn the whole place into the world's greatest paintball park. :2thumbs:

It's definitely an eerie industrial stank hole.

I am really kicking my self for living so close and never heading out there before everything was torn down. I hope to make a second trip get lots more photos but its kinda sketchy to go out solo.

Summit will throw that last one up in a bigger size. It looks amazing. I don't know how you do it, but you take something that should be ugly and make it alluring.

:haha: The force is strong with this one... better watch out or I will turn my amazing jedi mind tricks on you.

If Summit is ok with it I want to put it on my desk top. I have one of his up there now. He gets a ton of compliments on the pic. I usually have one of his or one of Dan's.

Maybe in 10 years if he decides to start slacking off. :haha:

Dan's photos and TR's were a major factor in me stepping it up and getting an SLR. Not long ago was I rolling down to the desert for a 3 day weekends with a single disposable camera.
